So, how did the so-called special operation begin?

In 2014, there was a military coup, a rebellion in Ukraine, the Russians began to be oppressed, the Russians went to the Donbass. We defended the Donbass, after we defended the Donbass, we had to leave in 2014 in the fall and take the lines of Slavyansk and Kramatorsk and so on along the border of the LPR-DPR, this was not done, the point was made, because the army was not sure that she can handle it and there was no wilful decision.

Therefore, the fate of Donbass remained suspended.

After 2014, from 2014 to 2022, the entire Donbass was plundered, it was plundered by various people, some of them were from the presidential administration, some from the FSB, some were attracted by oligarchs, such as Kupchenko. These are people who stole money from the residents of Donbass, who were in the unconscripted republics of the LPR and DPR.

In this LPR and DPR, there were corps of people's militia, which, in the event of an attack by Ukrainians, had to give a worthy rebuff. However, these corps did not exist in fact, there was a minimum number of fighters and a certain number of generals, they simply cut this money. With a salary of 40 thousand, 20 thousand were left at the box office, 20 thousand were given to the one who signed, if the fighter existed and was sitting at home, there was no training, and the dead souls simply received this money. The generals received this money for dead souls and sawed budgets.

Donbass was a great place where money plundered by likes of employees of the presidential administration. First it was Surkov, then there was a Cossack, the FSB also had an absolutely understandable hierarchy of generals.

Now on why the special military operation began. 

The Ukrainians had a grouping that was located along the borders with the territory of Donbass, just the one that we broke through from Popasnaya to Artyomovsk. This group consisted of various voluntary, let's say, nationalist formations and also consisted of the active army of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. This group exchanged shots. We hit them, they hit us. This happened all these long 8 years from 2014 to 2022.

Sometimes the number of various firefights increased, roughly speaking, the exchange of ammunition, the exchange of shots, sometimes it decreased. On February 24, 2022, there was nothing extraordinary. Now the Ministry of Defence is already trying to deceive the public, trying to deceive the president and tell the story that there was insane aggression on the part of Ukraine, and they were going to attack us together with the entire NATO bloc. Therefore, the special operation, the so-called February 24, it was launched for completely different reasons.

So, now the army.

The army, starting in 2012, started earlier, with Serdyukov, but starting in 2012, when Shoigu was sent there, the army did nothing. Each conscript was given three rounds of ammunition, as in the worst Soviet times, although this was not the case in Soviet times either. They were not engaged in combat training, they were not trained on various types of weapons, especially modern ones. And therefore, in Russia, the army was in such a flawed condition that it could not conduct any large-scale military operations. Shameful campaigns like the “Syrian” campaign, where the PMC Wagner performed the main task, and the army men flew on planes, absolutely shameful, boorish things that they did in Syria, such as crossing the borders of neighbouring states on planes, about which all the commanders repeatedly warned Shoigu and Gerasimov, they did not give the army any combat experience. A huge number of generals hung themselves like a Christmas tree with the stars of the hero of the Russian Federation. Most of them have never gone anywhere in their lives. The Hero of Russia was received simply for the fact that once on a comfortable plane with a leather interior and a polished table, the general flew from Moscow towards Khmimim and returned back. For this, they received the stars of the hero of the Russian Federation. The title was actually discredited, this title was destroyed. The clowns, who spent the whole day walking and licking the ass of the Minister of Defense and his media, received the following ranks, all military honors and awards. A soldier under Shoigu ceased to exist as a being who can say at least some word, whose opinion can be heard. Therefore, absolutely no training in the army, lack of command, lack of weapons and many other factors met the Russian army on February 24, 1922. The entire operation was kept secret. Those army commanders who were supposed to manage the most serious areas in the event of a war that was unleashed, they were not aware of what was happening. Victory cards, as during the Great Patriotic War, with beautifully drawn felt-tip pens and pencils, decorated with arrows, were worn by the Minister of Defense Shoigu by those who had never held a weapon in their hands. And so it turned out what happened.

So now the basics.

Why did the special operation begin? A beautiful story of demilitarization and denazification of Ukraine. It would have been possible if the regime had been changed in three days, although as far as I am immersed in this story, Zelensky, when he became president, was to any agreements. All that had to be done was to get down from Mount Olympus, go and negotiate, because the whole of Eastern Ukraine is inhabited by people who are genetically Russian. And therefore, what is happening today, we are going to kill these genetic Russians.

So, a mediocrely planned operation, the exercises carried out before this, and for some reason a bunch of idiots decided that they were so smart-assed that no one would understand what they were doing during the exercises, and no one would stop them when they went to Kiev. And no one would stop. If these degenerates had not put up long columns, they would not have given 0.2 BC for each type of weapon, 0.2 BC is several hours of battle, and they would not have sent naked and barefoot soldiers towards Kiev and other areas. Not a single state, as I have said many times, has on its borders that defence that can withstand the penetration of an army, even if it comes with one projectile. That is why they jumped into the territories where they are now, reached Kyiv, trampled around Kyiv. Instead of making urgent decisions and moving on, Shoigu simply did not have enough balls. He cowardly sat in his office and at the end of the first day he was very surprised why thousands of missiles were wasted that struck without having normal reconnaissance, having nothing, just hitting anywhere, why the troops could not advance.

Further, the merciless throwing of the Airborne Forces near Gostomel. The guys who flew over and died did not know what they were doing, what tasks. They knew they had to stand there and do their duty. And therefore, in the first days of the war, Shoigu killed thousands of Russian soldiers. He destroyed the most combat-ready part of the army. And a very small part of the army was combat-ready, because sycophancy was brought up in the army for many years. And any active person either left the army or was ready to leave immediately.

When the shame of the special operation began in the first days of that, when the Russian troops, having entered the territory without ammunition, did not understand what to do, and I asked many officers and generals why this happened, and they all said, these scum, I emphasize, they spoke the word scum, referring to the military-political leadership of the country. They didn't tell us where we were going. And the Ukrainians, knowing that the exercises were taking place, certainly mobilized minimal forces. Of course, they gave people in Kiev weapons, and instead of coming, if we needed it, put pressure on the top leadership of the country, take on our side those who can make decisions, and immediately offer them agreements, saying: “we are standing near Kiev already a day, we will continue to advance, advance and advance, but now we have the opportunity. Let's agree. First, the crisis committee, we introduce our people to this crisis committee, discuss the fate of Russian citizens, ”and then the Ukrainians will be forced to make concessions.

Mentally ill bastards, mentally ill bastards decided: “It's okay, we'll throw a few thousand more Russian guys for meat. They will die like dogs under enemy artillery fire, but we will achieve our goal.” And this is also an option. And you can do the same if you are ready to be responsible for your words, if you are ready to go forward to the end. But they are not ready to go all the way. They want to live in comfort. They are not ready to go to bury their relatives in the cemetery, as thousands of mothers and thousands of sons and daughters of their fathers are buried. Therefore, the war went into a protracted nature.

Instead of getting together, making a table for 50 people, calling all the generals, all the people who can give some advice, some explanations, we still have self-isolation in our country. And so none of the decision makers got together. They all talked on the phone. And when, at the beginning of the special operation, I began to prepare a unit of the Wagner PMC, because it might be necessary to urgently fly out of Africa, this was already known at the end of February 22, when I gathered a task force in my office in order to keep track of what was happening, it was clear that a monstrous, shameful defeat was underway for our soldiers. Soldiers died. The soldiers were dealt merciless blows not only to their lives, but also to their reputation. African leaders started contacting me en masse. And everyone asked the same question: “How could Russia sink to such a monstrous disgrace?” The second most powerful army in the world, which was so publicised, of course, it was clear that this was not so. It was an air bubble, but at least something could be shown from it. It was shameful that Russia got into such a deep ass. Everyone counted on a miracle, on tactical nuclear weapons, on a nuclear bomb that was about to be thrown on Warsaw, but they had no balls. Weak grandfathers. They cannot get out of their comfort zone. At that time, I was still allowed to come to the General Staff on Frunzensky Embankment. Shoigu every day still feasted at his table. He also had solemn dinners, which he spends every day from 1 to 2 o'clock, where all the deputies gather, the tables are bursting with caviar and cognac. He received guests and gifts in the same way.

In mid-March, we were called to war. Shoigu hid. He was not visible. It was a shaking kid who was thinking about how we could get out of this situation. And at that moment he had to be thrown into the dustbin of history, and preferably - judged, punished for the fact that he had already destroyed tens of thousands of lives of boys at that time. The first deserters appeared. In order for no one to know that they exist, they began to terminate (military) contracts as “backdated”. And as a result, the military, who received salaries for years, who received apartments, who lived at the expense of the state, at the expense of ordinary men who worked at a factory, on a tractor or somewhere else, these military men went home. There was no idea what desertion was. And after that, these men, who had fed these military men for years, they were taken, put under arms and made mobilised out of them. And now let's stop here on the mobilised. 

What was the war for? 

The war was needed so that a bunch of creatures simply triumphed and promoted, showing what a strong army it was. In order for Shoigu to receive a marshal, this decree was already ready, and he received the second star of the hero, because he really wanted to go down in history as the great Tuva military commander, who became twice a hero and a marshal in virtually peacetime. The war was needed not in order to return Russian citizens to our bosom, and not in order to demilitarize and denazify Ukraine. It was needed for the sake of one star with additional embroidery around the perimeter, so that one person, mentally ill, when he lies in a coffin, to bring this star on a pillow. This is the first.

And secondly, the oligarchs needed the war. She was needed by the clan that actually controls Russia today. This oligarchic clan, they get everything they can. If foreign businesses are closed for this clan, then the state immediately divides up domestic businesses and transfers them to it. Therefore, businessmen are imprisoned, banks are closed so that the clan does not lose the amount of its money. They don't need money. They have done everything for themselves a long time ago. Clinics with special devices, so that God forbid he gets cancer, and everything else to live as long as possible. This oligarchic elite, they only think about one thing: how to procrastinate their body for as long as possible, and so that their body is in the best possible condition. It's their brain disease. They don't think about the country, or the people, or the war, or anything but themselves.

So, the second most important task of the operation was the appointment of Medvedchuk as a certain president of Ukraine. The same Medvedchuk, who had already made his way to Kyiv in advance, sat and waited for the troops to arrive, Zelensky would run away, everyone would lay down their arms, and he would become the president of this Ukraine. The challenge was in tangible assets that would need to be divided after they took control of it. And it would be nice to punish the Zelensky regime, it would be nice to punish the Americans for making a coup d'état in Ukraine in 2014, but there was a lot of time for this that was lost. Lost, I will return, if we are now talking about material values, about financial resources, because they stole bundles in the Donbass, but I wanted more.

They decided to appoint Medvedchuk. Medvedchuk was arrested, he was exchanged for the whole of Azov. But if we want to denazify Ukraine, because Azov is the basis of the nationalist structures of Ukraine, why did we change it? Why is he so dear to us, why didn't we hand him over to be shot? And the most important question is why we did not exchange for captured fighters, why we did not exchange Azov for soldiers, but exchanged for this carrion - for Medvedchuk, who has good friendly relations, let's say, in the country's leadership.

After they took the Kherson and Zaporozhye regions, the first thing that happened was that bulldozers, metal, and so on began to be pulled out en masse. When we took Popasna and placed guards at the factories, well, if we took these factories, well, they didn’t destroy them, well, why not work for them? People came there, began to remove the equipment and take it to the side of Russia. The Artyomovsk champagne winery, which we managed to save, well, simply because it happened by chance when these mines were taken, there were small skirmishes there and the Ukrainian units simply ran away from the fear that they would be destroyed. Artyomovsk factory of sparkling wines, we took 10-15 bottles from it for souvenirs and sent two cars to Ukrainian women, everything else was in place. Today, decisions are already being made when it will be launched. And how the hell will it be launched? To whom will it belong? To whom will he profit? Already 100% not to the people of Donbass, 100% there will immediately be an owner who will cut these grandmothers. And so everything that happened, our holy war with those who offend the Russian people, with those who are trying to humiliate them, has turned into a racket, or rather, into rats raised to the rank of law, to the rank of national oh ideology.

On March 19, for the first time, I arrived on the territory of Ukraine, I asked the commanders on the ground why we did not submit the number of our killed and wounded soldiers. I was told that "upstairs" nobody cares. There is a task to be completed. And how many will die, we will count later, after the war. No one was interested in what efforts victory would be achieved. And at the time when we arrived, it was already impossible to talk about victory. Because they were micro-advancements. In order to gain control over Ukraine, it was necessary either to take the Donbass, or go to the level of the left bank of the Dnieper, or capture it all, without Lviv, without western Ukraine, or with Lviv, this is another story. Or just change leadership. We failed to change leadership. Donbass was already clear then that we would not take it with such efforts.

Every day it was required to show an advance of 50-100-200 meters. There was no control, there were continuous tantrums. Armament is a mess, everywhere a mess, just total chaos. If it were not for this, chaos, then instead of one, instead of 10 people, one would die. But 10 died instead of this one. Someone has to answer for the lives of these soldiers. They didn't return home. Part, because they were buried, and a huge part, those who are missing. Relatives write to me every day, they ask me questions, various fighters who are not related to the Wagner PMC, guys who have gone to the Ministry of Defense. The number of missing people that we see is simply impossible. They were simply thrown out like meat, because there was no way to take them to the territory. And they are still hiding it.

A separate story is unprofessionalism of the General Staff. From the first days, the soldiers, officers and generals have always gone around as a joke: "in order to win the war, all that needs to be done is to close Frunzenskaya." If a unit achieved any results on a sector of the front, it was immediately halved, half had to continue these offensive operations, but it is obvious that it could no longer do this, and half was taken away and thrown to another sector of the front. What was it for? We all believe that this is just from insane stupidity, because the chief of the general staff and Shoigu personally, they manage all operations. If the general believes that it is necessary to do so, then in any case he will be forced to shut up and told how to do it. If he did not obey, as Muratov and other generals did, he would be kicked out. If he obeyed, then a huge number of people would die. But it will be written off because he is obedient.

These remnants of military formations were thrown from place to place for reinforcement. As a result, there is not a single brigade, not a single division that could fight in full force. It's all mixed up like this. Because of this, there is a total lack of control. Since there is no control, then each warrior-chief has his own reason why this or that task is not completed. And in the end, so that the chief of the general staff does not fight in paranoia, does not yell and does not try to fire, but there is a structure, first the NGSA, after that the ministers, first they fire you, then you must apologise to them, say that you will continue to serve faithfully, to humiliate himself, as, by the way, happened to Teplinsky in the end. And then you stay in the cage. And this lack of control killed 80% of the soldiers who died in this war.

Next is ammo. 

For all Russians, you need to understand that there is ammunition, they are in warehouses. They are not issued for only one reason. Because, again, low-professional people believe that these ammunition should lie in the suburbs, just in case, if suddenly, by chance, someone touches them. And therefore, if shells were taken for 5 million, then you will have to pay for insurance, which is popularly called "coffin" 5 million. The ratio is absolutely identical. But, the generals believe that there are a lot of people, those who make decisions, the generals, not those who fight on the ground. And so the soldiers are killed, instead of spending shells. 

Wagner is a different story. We were not given shells to destroy us. Because they understood perfectly well that we would remain the force that would not lick the ass of the military leadership that drives soldiers to graves. They tried to destroy us in Bakhmut, but it did not work. We left Bakhmut, they mined the exits for us, it did not work out. Everything is aimed at destroying Wagner PMC. They still hope that they can win this war. But, since there is no control, there are no military successes, the leadership of the Ministry of Defense carefully deceives the president. And the president receives those reports that do not correspond to reality in any way. There are two agendas. One on the ground, the other on the president's desk. And so we listen all day long about 60 destroyed Leopards, about 3000 destroyed enemy soldiers. When you destroy the Leopard, you pick up the "bird" and shoot them. He stands there burnt out. Videos that have been widely circulated in the media, this is the only case when the Ukrainians ran into our aircraft, were calculated in advance and aviation, and then the infantry struck them. And what was destroyed was destroyed. Two Leopards plus one T-72, plus a few Brentleys. All this is shown from different angles. Nobody destroyed 60 Leopards. This is total nonsense. Shoigu lives by the principle: “in order to believe in a lie, it must be monstrous.” And so there are deceptions. Two realities. On the ground now, today, the Russian army is retreating in the Zaporozhye, Kherson directions. APU push through the Russian army. We wash ourselves with blood. No one gives reserves. There is no management. Still tantrums. In which the chief of the general staff, after a glass of vodka, squeals like a market woman, like a pig. On the phone demanding to return the positions. And all that the commander can do, he can say, "that everything is returned." And draw a red stripe on the map a few kilometers further north than it really is today. Therefore, what we are told is the deepest deception. And we will face the fact only at the moment when, as it was on Krasny Liman, as it was in Kherson, as it was in many other places, a bunch of these scum, realizing that they have already pissed off a colossal piece of territory, will gather and declare that they had regrouped to "more advantageous positions". The same thing happens on Bakhmut. The enemy is getting deeper, deeper, deeper into our defenses. The enemy does not kill his soldiers. The enemy saves his technique. Everything that the enemy does not save: - he does not save ammunition. And so the soldiers are dying, leaving with wounds. Every wounded soldier will not pick up a machine gun tomorrow. 

Time is rapidly collapsing.
